Having just released their debut LP, Productive Disruption, at the start of 2022, San Diego-based powerviolence band Deaf Club hightailed their way straight into their follow-up EP to hone in on their absurdist sound. In the Bad Songs Forever EP, the band finds a new balance of structured songwriting while still crafting a densely layered blend of hardcore, grind and d-beat. We spoke with frontman Justin Pearson (The Locust, Swing Kids, etc.) on the thematic elements of their latest release, balancing humor with politically-charged messages, and much more.

Since rejoining the group in 2019, original Meat Puppets drummer Derrick Bostrom has been drawn back into the improvisational energy of the band. "The pull of the music for me is when you can get to a place where you’re not making the decisions. Rather, the music itself is making the decisions."

We caught up with Derrick during the Meat Puppets recent co-headlining tour with Mudhoney to talk about the magic of improvisational music, the group's evolution from a trio to an ensemble, the rise and fall of SST Records, and so much more.

On their debut EP, Dabalomuni, the trio lives up to their name by creating a whirlwind of genre-defying sounds that deconstruct both traditional and futurist knowledge. We spoke with Avalanche Kaito to discuss their new release, weaving ancient history into their sound, and following the road of their ancestors.
